The PoArtMo Prompt – May 2021

The PoArtMo Prompt is a monthly series with a twist. Submissions can only be sixku, kindku, pareiku, or flashku, the forms that we invented.

What’s in it for you? Well, the chance to be featured in a future issue of our magazine or even in a future anthology!

This month’s prompt is “Close to the ground”.

Imagine being an insect or tiny animal. What kind of stories would you have to share with us about the world around you?

Remember: If you choose to write a pareiku then you will need to use two copyright free images to inspire your piece. Here are two images that you can freely use.

Donna Allard, Chandni Asnani, Maria L. Berg, Jamie Brian, Jimena Cerda, Jaewon Chang, Ravichandra Chittampalli, Sandra Christensen, Mimi DiFrancesca, Fiona D’Silva, Kate Duff, Judy Dykstra-Brown, Amanda M.

To purchase a copy of The Auroras & Blossoms NaPoWriMo Anthology: 2020 Edition, click here.

Now onto the bad news. We have made the difficult decision to cancel the PoArtMo 2020 Contest. The reason is simple: After three weeks, the number of entries that did not fit the criteria of the contest had far outweighed the number of qualifying entries, hence creating a lot of extra work for us.

With that said, we are happy to report that our call for submissions to the PoArtMo 2020 Anthology has received more positive attention. As a result, we are extending the deadline for the PoArtMo 2020 Anthology to August 23, 2020! So, please continue submitting to us!

NB: The PoArtMo Anthology is open to all types of artists, not just poets.

Stay inspired, friends!
